7) When does the reporting occur?

8) What feedback have you received from parents regarding reporting of Literacy with ICT?
-Reporting has been done in a variety of formats throughout the division. Some schools use numbers to assess students, others include the LwICT reporting on an insert to the general report card. Most reporting is anecdotal.
-Parents understand that students need to be computer savvy, but are not too concerned with detailed comments. They are more concerned with the 'numbered percentage'.


9) In certain circumstances, a child may have more than one teacher. How would/do your teachers report on a child's literacy with ICT in this circumstance? Please discuss with your divisional team and record some possible strategies to address this issue.
-This is not a huge issue in our division, as our student body is relatively small and students are mostly with one teacher. In cases where there are more than one teacher, there is a sit down meeting between all the teachers to discuss the LwICT assessment.
-Common preps would be useful to make assessment easier.
